C-1

Appendix C

Installing Software Programs and Drivers for

the X5DPA-

TGM Motherboard

(Please refer to Appendix D for software installation for the X5DPA-

TGM+ . )

(*Notes: if you do not wish to configure onboard SATA RAID functions,
please go directly to Section C-4 on Page C-18 for Operating System

& Other Software Installation.)

After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure Intel's

ICH5R SATA RAID (*Note) before you install the Windows operating system,

and other software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the

Supermicro CDs that came packaged with your motherboard.

C-1 Installing Intel ICH5R SATA RAID Utility

To configure SATARAID functions, you must first install Intel ICH5R SATA

RAID Utility program before you install the Windows XP operating system,

and other software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the

Supermicro CDs that came packaged with your motherboard. (*Note: the

current version of ICH5R SATA RAID Utility can only support Windows XP

Operating System.)

Serial ATA (SATA)

Serial ATA(SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a

minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices.

It is a serial link which supports SATA Transfer rates up to 150MBps. Because

the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in
Parallel ATA(PATA), SATA systems have better airflow and can be installed in

smaller chassis than Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can

only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can extend up to one meter.

Overall, Serial ATA provides better functionality than Parallel ATA.

Introduction to Intel ICH5R SerialRAID

Located in the South Bridge of the 875 Chipset ,the I/O Controller Hub

(ICH5R) provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system.

It supports 2-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and

two Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controllers, which support up to two Serial

ATA ports and up to two RAID drives. The ICH5R supports the following

Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial (SATA) device configurations:
